Most people are suitable for implants! Latest research shows that the 10-year survival of implants was 96.4%, however there are certain factors that reduces the success rate of implants:
– Untreated gum disease (active periodontitis)
– Regular smoking. You should try to stop smoking one week prior and 2 months after the implant placement
– Insufficient jaw bone, in which case bone grafting might be necessary to improve success rate
– Poor oral hygiene, not regularly brushing and flossing your teeth and not visiting your dentist for checkups
– Other factors: health conditions, bite complications etc
